Book - offline distribution wizard
when i try to run the lockdown and send mail feature of book publishing and i get this error when it tries to send the email "transport failed to connect to the server" - anyone seen this before? I do have Admin access. Thx.
Did you configure the email parameters in the webadmin correctly?
Email paramters are:
SMTPAUTH - Authentication method for the emailserver
SMTPPASSWORD - Password for the sending user
SMTPPORT - Port number for the email server
SMTPSERVER - The name of the server the system uses to send email
SMTPUSER - The user that sends the email

Offline Distribution WIzard - Custom Formatting of Body of Email Possible?
The body of the email in the Offline Distribution Wizard is just Plain Text. Is there anyway to change some settings to use HTML or some nice formatting in the Body of the email via the Offline Distribution Wizard?
Hi Martin,
you just need this task
Task
Can be assigned to
Description
ManageDistributor
Only primary administrator (default)
This user or team can use the Offline Distributor.
to be in the distribution list and recive mail you don't need other than a valid email.
Try with a minimum distribution list (single user) where you are sure that the email is right and see if it works.
fore more info concerning the distribution list please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/2f/7485da629644c5a831224d4b970881/content.htm

Hi!
We have problem with the "Distribute and Collect Offline Data" function.
All the parameters SMTPAUTH, SMTPPASSWORD, SMTPPORT, SMTPSERVER and
SMTPUSER are all set and works fine (E-mail notification function is
working)
But something doesn´t work when we try to distribute reports via
Offline Distribution Wizard. We have entered an E-mail adress
(xxx.yyy) in the VARYKEYS section in the Distrubutionlist
but when run the Offline Distribution Wizard we can see that it is
trying to send the E-mail to bpc.media.lanxxx.yyy and that doesn´t work.
"bpc.media.lan" is the name of our BPC server so why is that used in
the E-mail adress in the Offline Distribution Wizard?
Regards
FredrikHi,
After several test, the offline distribution features work at last.
:Assuming the email notification in admin console and email notification in BPF are working just fine.**
In VARKEYS under userID try to use the values that can be found in the owner property of your driver dimension
for example under entity dimension:
ID OWNER REVIEWER
XXXX abc.com\user1 abc.com\manager1
in your distribution list under VARKEYS
!VARKEYS
ENTITY USERID
XXXX abc.com\user1
by doing so, it will use your smpt server and not the webserver.
Hope this helps.

The individual who is receiving the error and system admin have the exact same security setup but only users are receiving the error.what are the areas and other options to check?
Please provide relevant options.

Schedule Offline Distribution Wizard
Hi!
If I schedule an Offline Distribution Wizard it seem like I (the one who did scheduling) must be log on to the client machine when Offline Distribution Wizard is scheduled to run, is this the case?

FredrikHi experts,
After using offline distribution wizards (assuming the email distribution was successful) to where the sent items located? I mean, i can't find the sent email to my sent item folder. Since i can't find it i can't recall the email if i have to. I'm just wondering if the system produces an sent email item or not.
Thanks as always,

Edited by: yajepenati on Nov 22, 2011 3:29 AMI'm assuming you set up the gmail account on the iPod using the special gmail configuration (when you first set up a new account, one of the choices for the type of account is gmail).
I had to reset my gmail account last night, deleting it and redefining it (for reasons other than your issue) and by default, I get "inbox", "drafts" "Sent Mail", and "Trash". You might try deleting your account on iPod and redefining it - it's quick and doesn't affect your email status. -
BPC75NW: Offline Distribution of reports does not work in Schedule mode
Hello BPC experts,
I'm new in SAP world.
I have the following problem.
In BPC 7.50.06 NW I'm trying to adjust the distribution on e-mail to schedule.
I set up Distribution List. When I start the Offline Distribution Wizard -> Distribute Now all works without problems.
The problem starts when I start the Offline Distribution Wizard in the Schedule mode. All the settings I do the same as at "Distribute Now".
Then I set the report should be sent daily, starting with 13.10.2011, indicating the Start Time. As a System password I'm pointing my domain password (I know no other passwords).
At the time specified in the Start Time nothing happens, i.e. the schedule does not work.
Tell me, please, if faced with a similar problem, how it can be solved?
Thank you for your help, this is greatly appreciated.

Search here, lots of post on IIS and setting Printer Access Permissions for your application.
Also search MSDN on what is required to for IIS to access local Printers.
Also search for ActiveX Controls and Browser permissions, you'll likely have problems there also since most Browsers will not or do not recommend allowing any ActiveX control.

Offline distribution email setup
Hi,
I'm generating offline templates through the 'Offline distribution wizard' saving the templates to a folder and then emailing them out one by one. [BPC7 (MS)]
I've tried using the 'Lockdown and Send mail' option in the 'Offline distribution wizard' but I get the error: "Error downloading email setup from server".. How do I setup the email on the server?
Thanks!
Mez
Edited by: Meznert on May 28, 2009 10:38 AMDear Meznert,
You should have the account email first and make sure that account can sent email to other user account. After that, you should set the SAP BPC through BPC Administration Web and choose the menu "Set Appset Parameters". For more information how to set the SMTP in SAP BPC please you read the help.
Thanks,

Server communicaton error with the distribution wizard in BPC 7.0?
Does anyone have experience or a solution for the email error message when using the distribution wizard?The wizard processes the report and then asks for a system password. We don't know what that password is, does this feature require a special password and if so how is it submitted or registered?
You have to protect the report before distributing it. This is done under Etools-->Workbook Options within the template being distributed. Set the password here and BPC will lock the workbook before distribution. If you do not set the password in the workbook you will get an error.

Offline Distribution Scheduler
Hi,
The Shedule Offline Distribution List from ePublish menu, doesnu2019t seems to work. I tried several times to schedule a distribution but nothing happens and I didnu2019t find a place to trace the schedules I have created, like in the Data Manager option.
Does anyone know how this work?
Thanks!If you run the offline distribution with "distribute now" instead of scheduling, does the process complete successfully?
Keep in mind that the scheduled task is created on the client machine where you're running Excel, and the task also needs to execute at run-time, on that same machine. (It doesn't run on the server itself, unless you're RDP'ing to the server, logging into BPC for Excel from the server, and scheduling the task there.) So that means, don't schedule your task on your laptop that won't be connected to the network at 3 am, when the task is scheduled.
Do you have other Windows Scheduled Tasks working successfully? The BPC tasks sit on top of that same Windows interface. If you look at the scheduled tasks in Windows, you should see the BPC tasks there. (I know this is true for data manager tasks, but I'm not certain if ePublish -- offline distribution works the same way. I think it does.)
I noticed on a recent install of Win Server 2003, there was a service I needed to turn on to allow scheduled tasks. I'd never needed to do that before, but maybe the latest security updates from MS have disabled this on your OS. Make sure you have that running.

Hello BPC experts,
I am trying to schedule an offline distribution list. I could successfully create the list and it works fine when I press "distibute now". But when I choose "schedule" instead it doesn't.
In the schedule tab one has to provide the system password. I guess this is the adminsitrator password but I am not sure. Later on after clicking on "process" one has to provide logon information again. I failed to provide correct information, it always says "invalid credentials". Could someone please clarify what logon information is required here?
The generated windows schedule entry is C:\PROGRA1\SAPBUS1\PC_MS\PublishBatch.exe EYBL_PLANNING_Off.XML
I guess there is some logon information missing. The batch starts but nothing happens. The XML file looks ok to me.
Best regards,
